Live music performances by Eryn Woods and The Millionaires on the

Aiming to reduce the rates of HIV and STD infections among the youth
demographic, AIDS
Healthcare Foundation (AHF) has teamed up with pop-punk solo
performer Eryn Woods, who will be using her spring/summer tour
with pop girl group The Millionaires to promote safer sex to
their young fan base. The Eryn Woods and The Millionaires tour
kicked off in late April and has already passed through more than six
states on the West Coast and central U.S. This weekend, the tour will
return to California to join AHF at the Long
Beach Lesbian and Gay Pride Festival.

The concert will be held on Sunday, May 18th
at 4:00 pm on the Festival’s Main Stage. The Festival will take
place along E. Shoreline Drive, near Rainbow Lake Park in Long Beach.
AHF, a co-sponsor of this year’s Pride Festival and Parade, will be
represented with a float during the Pride Parade on Saturday, and will
be offering free, confidential rapid HIV testing with results in 60
seconds on both days of the Festival.

Each show of the Eryn Woods tour features a performance of the safer sex
awareness song composed by Eryn Woods for AHF, “It’s a Wrap,” a message
to would-be paramours that the only way they’ll be allowed to get
intimate is if they plan to “play it safe” by using a condom. Thousands
of free condoms – donated to the tour by AHF – will be distributed at
each show.

Though many songs by The Millionaires feature explicit lyrics about
casual sex, all of the artists on the tour were excited by the
opportunity to pair their party-promoting tunes with important messaging
about protecting your health and the health of your partners.

“There are 9 million new infections among young people aged 18 to 24
every year, and that’s not something we can just stand by and accept,”
said Eryn Woods. “The Millionaires and I are so honored that
young people look up to us and listen to us, and we want to use that as
an opportunity to deliver a positive message that could ultimately save
a lot of lives.”

Following the Long Beach Pride performance, Woods will be back on the
road as the tour picks up where it left off in the mid-west with two
shows in Ohio before returning to Missouri at the end of the month.
